Subject: REVIEW - WCAG 2 proposed changes (due by January 14)

The following email outlines the updates proposed and implemented by the WCAG 2 Task Force. It provides a two-week window for Working Group members to review non-normative WCAG 2 updates, and consists of changes in several categories.

How to provide feedback on the following changes

For proposed substantive or editorial changes:

  1.  Give a thumbs up on the pull request description to agree. We are looking for >4 +1 votes (activating the 👍 emoji) for substantive or errata changes
  2.  Or provide feedback in the Conversation to request changes

Based on feedback, those changes will be merged or brought back for another review.

For proposed draft responses to issues, give a thumbs up or comment. If you spot a problem with an implemented bug fix, open a new issue.
